- So, people call you Benzo. Shall I call you Benzo?
- You can call me Benzo. - All right.
Is that--that's what everyone calls you, right?
- That is. I don't know how that came about,
but in the last couple of years,
people just started calling me Benzo or Benson,
and then Benzo was the name.
All right, Benzo is the name-o.
- Benzo is the name-o.
- And we have never met, and it's--I don't know ha--
There's so many things that shoot on this lot,
and I never run into anybody 'cause we're all
in our own studios working, but you, like, are right across--
- We're right across from you.
I'm always, like, "Where is she? Is she here? Is she here?"
- Yeah. - And I've never seen you.
- I ride bikes around the lot. Do you ever ride bikes?
- I want a bike so bad,
and we've been asking for a golf cart.
We got one golf cart, but I want my own,
and I want it to say, like, "Benzo."
- Uh-huh. - And then, uh, I'll be
hopefully driving around, but the producer said no, so...
- Oh. - I still have to work on that.
- Well, get a bike 'cause that's good exercise
and it's fun 'cause you can get--go all over the place.
- I would love to have a bike. - And they're shooting
different things. It's really fun.
So you're, uh, you've been acting since you were a child.
How--how old were you when you started "Days?"
- I started around 13 or 14. - On "Days?"
So, young, yeah, on "Days."
- For how long? - I was there for about 5 years.
- Wow. - Yeah, it was--
- Did you like that? 'Cause that's a--
that's a lot of memorization for a kid, right?
- Well, being on a soap opera the first day.
I didn't really know that you only had, like, two takes,
so one--the first day I had-- I had monologues
for about ten pages, thought I could just do, like,
okay, one scene and then we'll take a break.
You have to do every scene because we're doing
three episodes a day.
So I had 80 pages. I was, like, "Oh, my God.
I hope I don't forget my lines."
And I was working with my mom and my dad on the show.
They've been on there since they were 16 years old.
I was, like, "Oh. This is gonna be interesting."
- Yeah. - But I did it.
- It's amazing. I think people don't know
soap operas, they're really great training
because you don't have much time to memorize your lines,
and they shoot so much in a day,
that it's a great training ground for an actor.
- Yeah, well now when I go on my show,
we have, like, five pages a day.
So maybe like a couple of lines here and there.
I'm, like, "Ah, this is easy." - Yeah.
So people, if they don't know the show,
tell everyone what "Pretty Little Liars" is about.
- Um, so the show's about four girls who--
their friend goes missing, and we started getting haunted
by this girl named "A," or "It."
Um, and it's just about people getting killed
almost every episode.
Then people being brought back to life.
And, uh, yeah, now hopefully everyone kind of knows
who "A" is, I guess. - Mm-hmm.
- Um, and then hopefully you'll be able to see
what he looks like.
- And you're now in prison?
You're in--you're in, yeah. - I'm in prison.
- The best--best thing in the world
'cause I get to wear an orange jumpsuit for most of the time.
- So you don't have to worry about wardrobe or anything.
- Yeah. My character's very stylish.
She's always in heels, and I'm more of, like,
Converse, jeans type of girl.
So being in an orange jumpsuit
with no hair and makeup is my dream.
I'm, like, "Please keep me in jail
the entire rest of the show, please."
- Wow.
That would be the beauty of jail.
You don't have to worry about what to wear every day.
- No, it's great. - So there's always an upside
to everything, you know?
You have to look at the bright side.
- Yeah. - Um, I saw pictures
of your dogs. You have two dogs, right?
- I do. Olive and Walter. - Oliver--Olive.
- Olive and Walter. - All right.
- Oh, they're so sweet.
- So, now is one a Lhasa Apso and one a Brussels Griffon?
- One's a Brussel and one's a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix.
- I see. And then the Brussels--
they're--they're hilarious.
They have a hilarious personality, don't they?
- They're so weird.
The first time that I got him, my manager has one,
and that's why I ended up getting a Brussels,
and he was just so-- they just don't want to
miss out on anything.
My--Olive is very chill,
and she likes to sit on the couch.
My other dog, Walter, is bouncing up and down 24/7,
has to be on you at all times,
and if he's not on me, he's on top of Olive
sitting on her.
- That's cute.
Uh, your granddad-- I know your grandfather is
a huge fan, so what is his name?
- He is. His name is Bill.
He literally wants to marry you.
- Uh, well... - He watches your show every day
and he, like, if he misses it, his whole day is ruined.
- That is so sweet. Well, Bill, uh,
I'm not gonna marry you. Can't.
But, uh, I think, uh, you're very sweet
for watching the show every single day.
Thank you so much for--for liking the show.
And, uh, you have a great granddaughter.
- Aww. - And next time,
let's, uh, try to ride bikes
because we got you a bike.
- You did? - Yeah.
- Oh, my God. That's so sweet.
- All right. [applause]
- That's so awesome.
That's so great.
- That is so... - And, look.
- This is so amazing.
- I have something else, but I'll give it to you,
I guess, not now. - You are the sweetest.
- Oh, my gosh, this is amazing. - All right.
- This is so cool. - All right.
Come on out. Do you have--
- Oh, my gosh, stop.
This is so crazy. - Look.
- Oh, my God, that's so cute!
